Apparatus
l. 1, perhaps [καὶ ὁ δῆ]μ̣ος ἐ[τείμησαν]
l. 2, just possibly e.g. ἀ̣λλα⌜ς⌝ ἀξ̣[ίας]
l. 4, e.g. [χρυ]σῳ στε[φανῳ or εἴ]σωστε[ι]
Translation:
...] Attalos [...
Commentary:
If the interpretation of l. 1 is correct then this would give part of an honorary text, the honorand including Attalos (l. 3) probably among his ancestors, and receiving among other things a gold crown (l. 4). But the restorations cannot be certain and we may have a funerary text with [εἴ]σωστε[ι] in l. 4.
